There’s no denying that instant noodles are highly convenient. They are the perfect meal for anyone looking for something tasty, inexpensive, and easy to prepare. But as you slurp that string of noodles at the comfort of your home or office, take a step back and think about what you’re consuming. Are you willing to substitute your health for convenience? Before you answer this question, consider these four health risks of instant noodles:
1. Unhealthy Amounts of Sodium: Most types of instant noodles lack key nutrients such as fiber and protein. Instead, the products come laden with high amounts of sodium (up to 2,700mg per serving), carbohydrates, and fats. While sodium is essential in our body, too much of the mineral increases the risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure. [1]
2. Toxic Preservative: Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a relatively common preservative in processed foods such as instant noodles – and a potentially toxic compound. Studies show that prolonged exposure to TBHQ can cause delirium (feeling of suffocation), tinnitus (ringing in ears), nausea, vomiting, neurological damage, and even damage DNA. [2]
3. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Content: Instant noodles contain MSG – a food additive to enhance flavor – which can cause nerve damage and potentially trigger or worsen Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s diseases, learning disabilities, among other mental health issues. [3]
4. Increased Risk of Metabolic Syndrome: According to a study in The Journal of Nutrition, women who consumed instant noodles twice a were 68% more likely to develop metabolic syndrome. [4] This is a condition that increases the risk of suffering from stroke, diabetes, and heart diseases.
